Return 0 if you want the userinterface to be updated and anything else if not (e.g: You continued from the breakpoint in your script)


createProcess[edit]

createProcess(path, parameters OPTIONAL, debug OPTIONAL, breakonentrypoint OPTIONAL)
Creates a process. If debug is true it will be created using the windows debugger and if breakonentry is true it will cause a breakpoint to occur on entrypoint.

debugProcess[edit]

debugProcess(interface OPTIONAL)
starts the debugger for the currently opened process (won't ask the user).
  • interface:

Returns a lua table containing all the breakpoint addresses


debug_addThreadToNoBreakList[edit]

debug_setBreakpoint(address, size OPTIONAL, trigger OPTIONAL, functiontocall() OPTIONAL)
debug_setBreakpoint(address, functiontocall() OPTIONAL)
sets a breakpoint of a specific size at the given address. if trigger is bptExecute then size is ignored. If trigger is ignored then it will be of type bptExecute, which obviously also ignores the size then as well.

debug_removeBreakpoint[edit]

debug_continueFromBreakpoint[edit]

debug_continueFromBreakpoint(continueMethod)
if the debugger is currently waiting to continue you can continue with this. Valid parameters are :co_run (just continue), co_stepinto(when on top of a call, follow it), co_stepover (when on top of a call run till after the call).

The following routines describe last branch recording. These functions only work when kernelmode debugging is used and using windows XP (vista and later work less effective or not at all because the operating system interferes. Might also be intel specific. A dbvm upgrade in the future might make this work for windows vista and later)


debug_setLastBranchRecording[edit]

debug_setLastBranchRecording(boolean)
When set the Kernel debugger will try to record the last branch(es) taken before a breakpoint happens

function debugger_onModuleLoad(modulename, baseaddress)
this routine is called when a module is loaded. Only works for the windows debugger.
Return 1 if you want to cause the debugger to break.


Changing registers:

When the debugger is waiting to continue you can change the register variables. When you continue those register values will be set in the thread's context.


If the target is currently stopped on a breakpoint, but not done through an onBreakpoint function. The context won't be set.

You can get and set the context back with these functions before execution continues"
